Mother Gothel: Rapunzel? Rapunzel, what's going on up there? Are you all right?
Rapunzel: [whispers] I'm the lost princess.
Mother Gothel: [sighs] Please speak up, Rapunzel. You know how I hate the mumbling...
Rapunzel: [louder] I am the lost princess! Aren't I?
[Mother Gothel stares in shock]
Rapunzel: Did I mumble, Mother? Or should I even call you that?
Mother Gothel: [pauses, then regains composure] Oh, Rapunzel, do you even hear yourself? Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?
Rapunzel: [pushes her away, angry and frightened] It was you! It was ALL you!
Mother Gothel: [coldly] Everything I did was to protect YOU.
In the last line, which starts at 1:58 of the video above, it's not possible to leave out "to", is it?

Blue JayNo, you need to there.Is it because the whole sentence means "I did everything to protect you", not "I did nothing but protect you"?
